Harvard Graphics question

   I use Harvard Graphics v2.1 while running on a clone running 
MS-DOS v3.3.  What I am looking for is a way to edit Harvard's 
HG.DIR file so that I can have descriptions of more of my 
files.  Harvard's file handling capabilities are not all that 
good and it seems like you have to resave a file if you want to 
change its description.
   The HG.DIR file seems to be in ascii format.  The whole file 
seems to be on one line.  In between each file name is what 
appears to be a group of graphics characters (characters above 
ascii 127). 
   Does anyone know the format of the file that they could send 
me a description (enough of one that I could write a utility to 
let me edit it)?  Does anyone know of any utilities available 
that do this?  Any help would be appreciated.

                                                Pete
